Gender violence has lately turned a major topic in political, social and institutional discourses and has hence permeated the agenda of newsrooms. Media coverage of violence against women (VAW) often relies on newsworthiness, which frames a view of VAW that overrepresents femicide vis-à-vis other forms of non-physical violence. This routinisation and distortion of audience perceptions can legitimate and perpetuate particular anti-feminist ideologies. This chapter examines the state-of-the-art on the discursive construction of female victims of VAW in the press, while exploring the effect(s) of media ethical codes on its reporting through a practical case study
